Please note that this contract is in its final renewal period. The renewal of MVD has been exercised to maintain the continuity of mobile services for agencies currently participating in the agreement, and to provide adequate time to transition to an optimal solution under the Telecommunications as a Service agreement (TaaS); the successor agreement for government-wide mobility/cellular services.

TaaS is a Common Capability agreement jointly managed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA), and is now the solution to support agencies planning procurements for mobility services or expanding their current services.

MVD and TaaS will co-exist until MVD expires in April 2017. Agencies not already participating under the MVD agreement can no longer join, and should instead subscribe to the TaaS agreement. The MVD CoE will continue to manage the MVD agreement and also support Participating Agencies as they transition to TaaS.
